Leviticus 26

26 ¹"Make una no make useless idol for unaselves, no set up carved image or holy pillar, no put sculpted stone for una land make una bow down give am; because Na Me be una Papa.

²"Make una keep my Sabbath dem and honour my holy place; Na Me be una Papa.

³"If una waka for my law dem, keep my command dem and carry dem do, ⁴I go give rain for im proper time; di land go bring out im crop, and di tree for field go bring im fruit. ⁵Di time wey una dey thresh grain go still meet di grape harvest, and di grape harvest go still meet di time to plant; una go chop una bread belleful and live safe for una land.

⁶"I go give peace for di land; una go lie down and nothing no go fear una. I go comot bad animal dem from di land, and no sword go pass through una land. ⁷Una go chase una enemy dem, and dem go fall for una front by di sword. ⁸Five of una go chase 100, one hundred of una go chase 10,000; una enemy dem go fall for una front by di sword.

⁹"I go turn to una, make una fruitful, multiply una, and confirm my Covenant with una. ¹⁰Una go still dey chop old grain wey una don store tey, dey clear am comot make room for new one. ¹¹I go put my dwelling place among una, and my heart no go reject una. ¹²I go waka among una and be una Papa, and una go be my pikin dem. ¹³Na Me be una Papa, wey bring una comot from di land of Egypt so make una no be Egypt people slave again. I break di bar wey dey for una neck yoke and make una waka straight and free.

How Papa Dey Correct Im Pikin Dem

¹⁴"But if una no go hear my word and una no go carry all dis command dem do, ¹⁵if una reject my law dem and una soul hate my rule dem, if una no do all my command dem but una break my Covenant, ¹⁶then Me too go do dis thing to una: I go bring sudden fear come una, wasting sickness and fever wey dey spoil di eye and dey drain life. Una go plant una seed for nothing, because una enemy dem go chop am. ¹⁷I go set my face against una: dem go strike una down for una enemy front, di people wey hate una go rule una, and una go run even when nobody dey chase una.

¹⁸"Even after all dis, if una still no go hear, I go correct una seven times over because of una sin dem, ¹⁹I go break di proud strength wey una get, and make una sky be like iron and una ground be like bronze. ²⁰Una strength go finish for nothing: una land no go bring im crop, and di tree for di land no go bring im fruit.

²¹"If una waka against Me and refuse to hear Me, I go add blow seven times over because of una sin dem. ²²I go send wild animal dem come una. Dem go rob una of una pikin dem, wipe out una animal dem, reduce una make una be few, and make una road dem empty.

²³"If even dis one no turn una back to Me, and una still dey waka against Me, ²⁴then Me too go waka against una and strike una, Me too, seven times because of una sin dem. ²⁵I go bring sword come una, to pay back for di Covenant. When una gather enter una city dem, I go send plague among una, and dem go hand una over give una enemy. ²⁶When I break di bread wey dey feed una, ten woman go bake am for one oven and share am small-small by weight—una go chop but una belle no go full.

²⁷"And if, even after all dis, una no go hear Me but una still dey waka against Me, ²⁸then I go waka against una with vex, and I Myself go correct una seven times over because of una sin dem. ²⁹Una go chop di flesh of una sons, and una go chop di flesh of una daughters. ³⁰I go destroy una high place dem, cut down una incense altar dem, pile una dead body dem on top di dead body of una idol dem, and my whole being go detest una. ³¹I go turn una city dem to ruins, scatter una holy place dem, and I no go smell una sweet aroma dem. ³²I Myself go make di land waste and empty; una enemy dem wey come settle for there go shock as dem see am. ³³I go scatter una among di nation dem and pull sword follow una; una land go turn waste and una city dem go turn ruins. ³⁴Then di land go enjoy im Sabbath dem all di days wey e lie waste, while una dey for una enemy land; then e go rest and enjoy im Sabbath dem. ³⁵All di days wey e lie waste, e go rest—di rest wey e no get during una Sabbath dem when una dey live there.

³⁶"As for those of una wey remain—I go put weakness for dem heart for dem enemy land dem. Even di sound of leaf wey wind dey blow go chase dem; dem go run like say na sword dey follow dem, and dem go fall even when nobody dey chase. ³⁷Dem go stumble on top each other like say dem dey run from sword, even when nobody dey chase, and dem no go get strength to stand for una enemy front. ³⁸Una go perish among di nation dem, and di land of una enemy dem go swallow una. ³⁹Those wey remain among una go waste away for dem guilt for una enemy land dem; and also, because of dem fathers guilt, dem go waste away with dem.

⁴⁰"But if dem confess dem guilt and dem fathers guilt, di betrayal wey dem commit against Me, and also say dem waka against Me with bad mind, ⁴¹so that Me too waka against dem, bring dem enter dem enemy land—if then dem heart wey no circumcise humble imself and dem pay for dem guilt, ^a a v41 Heart wey no circumcise: heart wey lock and hard, wey never yield to God—e come from circumcision as di sign of di Covenant wey show say person belong to Am. ⁴²I go remember my Covenant with Jacob, and also my Covenant with Isaac, and also my Covenant with Abraham, and I go remember di land. ⁴³Dem go leave di land, and e go enjoy im Sabbath dem while e lie waste without dem; dem go pay for dem guilt, because dem despise my rule dem and dem heart reject my law dem. ⁴⁴Even so, while dem dey for dem enemy land, I no go despise dem or reject dem reach di point wey I go destroy dem and break my Covenant with dem, because Na Me be dem Papa. ⁴⁵For dem sake I go remember di Covenant with dem ancestor dem, wey I bring comot from di land of Egypt for di eyes of di nation dem, so that I go be dem Papa: Na Me be una Papa."

⁴⁶Na dis be di law dem, di rule dem, and di teaching dem wey our Papa give between Imself and di people of Israel for Mount Sinai, through Moses.
